Experiment time again at Baking Steel-beet dough success! Stunning in both color and flavor, our beet dough pizza will blow your mind. To top this pink beauty, we tossed some arugula and red onion with a cider vinaigrette, then added some crumbled goat cheese. And of course, we left a little room for a softly poached egg. It was beetilicious!

We baked our beet pizza dough naked (get your minds out of the gutter, wise guys), in other words, with nothing on top of the pizza dough. To prevent premature browning, we placed a few ice cubes on top just before we launched. The ice cubes also add a little bit of weight to keep the dough from rising too much in the center. After 4-5 minutes, our dough was ready to top, so we added our tossed “salad”, goat cheese and finally our poached egg. Beetifully awesome!

Ingredients

1 Beet Pizza Dough

Handful of Arugula

1 oz. Goat Cheese

Red Onion, slice a few thin rounds

1 Big Splash Olive Oil

1 Small Splash of Apple Cider Vinaigrette
